Author, mediator and consultant, Lance Orndorff, has announced the release of his new book, “The Making of World-Class Graduates: A Plan of Action for Parents, Students, and Advisors.” Orndorff explores the mentored action plan and academic passport approach to education to assist students gain an advantage in their career goals. The 154-page book is available in paperback and electronic editions at http://www.themakingofworldclassgraduates.com.
“The Making of World-Class Graduates” presents a structured, common sense means for those in high school, college and graduate students to steer their education in the right direction for success. The mentored action plan (MAP) launches the education process, while the academic passport (AP) assists students in positioning themselves to be in high demand in the labor market.
In the real world, simply graduating or obtaining a degree isn’t enough anymore. Students who want to attend college need leverage, just as those entering the employment arena. High school students need to seek out educators and professionals that are dedicated to helping them reach their full potential. They’ll prove invaluable for attaining academic success and during the college admissions process.
Orndorff’s plan for success allows students to advance to the next level of education or job search that’s fully compatible with who they are, their goals and what they want to achieve. The system creates continuity throughout, without the need to rethink educational goals or career paths. Better grades and GPA are achieved, all of which will serve students in the next leg of their journey.
A mentored action plan allows students to take advantage of the opportunities available through the knowledge, expertise and connections of others. The student mentoring team works together to aid students in utilizing their specific strengths to reach their individual goals. “The Making of World-Class Graduates” shows readers how to identify and assemble their mentoring team for optimum results.
The AP acts as a super-charged resume, providing tangible results of what the high school or college level student has accomplished, during their education and beyond. The portfolio is comprised of published writings, videos, projects, research and letters that demonstrate the abilities of the student, rather than a simple resume full of claims.
Ordorff’s book walks readers step-by-step through the MAP and AP process with detailed instructions and specific ways to implement each. The strategies allow students to follow an educational and career path that leads them to a profession they enjoy and at which they excel. There are millions of unhappy people in dead end jobs that look back and wonder what could have been. Those implementing the MAP and AP will never have to face that question.
Orndorff is available for speaking engagements, group mentoring workshops, in-service training, and private individual mentoring–on or off site, in person or via teleconference–in order to clarify, train, and guide groups and individuals in applying the concepts and practices outlined in “The Making of World-Class Graduates.”
“The Making of World-Class Graduates” is an action plan for educational and career success that builds on student strengths and accomplishments, utilizing Ordorff’s MAP and AP blueprint. The author provides detailed information on how the system works, its advantages and how to accomplish each step of the program, along with little known insider secrets of college admissions. The plan provides students with the tools needed for academic success and career development.
